If Ever a Doubt

"Why didn't you answer my text message?"

The younger agent's words kept ringing through Anthony DiNozzo's head. It wouldn't leave him. The tone of Timothy McGee sounded hurt and sad and full of lost wondering. Tony had his reasons, but he couldn't let Tim know that. He could never let Tim know anything. Not the feelings he had, the reasons why he wouldn't answer calls and messages, or even the fact that his love for the younger man had grown and grown over the years. Especially since their sexual relationship had soon ended. He remembered why, of course. Timmy was just afraid. They'd only had sex twice and had wanted to be together, but Tim was afraid. Tony wasn't exactly known to be faithful or gentle at all times and that's what he needed. Someone steady, faithful, and gentle. Tony swore he could be those things, but Tim couldn't see it just then. He said he needed time. And time is what Tony was giving him.

Tony stared at the text message for what seemed like hours, but it had only been minutes. It was from Tim, of course, but what the message said scared him even more than the face it was from Tim himself.

"I need to talk to you. Please call me."

Anytime a sentence started with "I need to talk to you", it was bad. Tony had learned that over many many years. He didn't trust those words. He didn't trust that sentence. But something about the way Tim had been acting, feeling, saying, and even wearing made him wonder. That damned hoodie of his broke the straw on his back. Tim had since thinned out recently...what in the world could he be hiding? Tony could only think of one solution. That he'd gotten Tim McGee pregnant and now he was trying to hide it and tell him about it.

Timothy McGee waited anxiously for Tony to answer. He sat on his bed just staring at the phone, opening it every three seconds. Nothing was coming, and nothing came. He didn't think it would, either. It seemed as if Tony just up and left him, even if he himself had asked for more time. Still, it seemed like Tony could give a damn once in a while. Answer, at the very least.

Timmy couldn't understand how he'd let this happen. Knowing the fact that he could get pregnant and even sharing it with Tony, they still weren't as careful as they should have been. He should have been smarter than that. But still, it seemed as if two times wasn't enough to get pregnant. It must have been just enough. Tim couldn't figure it out.

It was annoyance enough that Tony wasn't answering his calls or text messages, but it bothered Tim that Tony might know and not even want to confront him about it. That was hurtful more than anything.

He was scared. Scared of Gibbs finding out. Scared of Tony not wanting to help and having to raise the baby all on his own. Scared of Vance. He already almost fired him and Tony once...he could do it again. Especially for this. That's why he wanted to talk about it. Yet, it seemed like Tony was having none of it. Maybe because he did know.

That night, all Tim McGee could do was lay down, cry, and wait for a never coming answer.

So...full story or not? Let me know! :D
